Coleman MS, Mulligan KM, O'Connell KA, Ahmad A, Kim L, da Silva A, Newton J, Dellavalle RP. Review of therapeutic trends in clinical trials for hidradenitis suppurativa: the rise of biologics and demographic under-representation. Clin Exp Dermatol 2024; 49:172-173. [PMID: 37775090 DOI: 10.1093/ced/llad337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/01/2023]
Abstract
We assessed interventional clinical trials for hidradenitis suppurativa from 2006 to 2021 noting patient demographics, intervention types and reported outcomes. We report and analyse the emerging trend towards biologic treatments. We also discuss that across studies, more consistent documentation of patient characteristics as well as more variable intervention types may broaden trial generalizability and provide benefit to more patients.

Abstract
This study used the crowdsourcing platform GoFundMe to analyze the financial hardships associated with treatment of juvenile dermatomyositis. Uncovered medical expenses, travel costs, and loss of income were all commonly cited reasons for fundraising, demonstrating high out-of-pocket costs and significant economic hardship associated with this disease, even among families with health insurance.
